Malaprop’s Bookstore/Cafe presents Mike Gunter, Jr. author of “Tales of EcoTourist,” which combines humor and memorable anecdotes from five famous ecotourist destinations that offer a breathtaking backdrop to better understanding climate change. Held at The Collider, doors open at 5:30pm, and the book talk will begin at 6:00pm, following by a short Q&A. Free & open to the public.
Crossing the far corners of the globe, Tales of an Ecotourist showcases travel, from the hot and humid Amazon jungle to the frozen but dry Antarctic, as a simple yet spellbinding lens to better understand the complex issue of climate change. At its core, climate change is an issue few truly understand, in large part due to its dizzying array of scientific, economic, cultural, social, and political variables.
Mike Gunter Jr. is a Cornell Distinguished Faculty member and Arthur Vining Davis Fellow at Rollins College where he serves as Professor and Chair of the Political Science department and Director of International Affairs in the Holt School. He is the author of Building the Next Ark: How NGOs Work to Protect Biodiversity.
Join Burial Beer at the taproom for a discussion of all things beer and non-beer related. They’ll be joined by TRVE Brewing and Troubadour Maltings from CO, the collaborators for the fifth release of the Ambient Terrain Series.

Head to The Thirsty Monk Biltmore Park on Tuesday, June 12th at 7pm for Monk Beer Academy. The topic this month will be Fermented Foods and Beer Pairing! Continuing the theme of pairing delicious foods with equally tasty beers, this month they’ve decided to go all in with fermentation. Explore how foods are preserved through fermentation techniques, find out which beer styles are compatible with various types of fermented foods, and discuss why they complement or contrast each other so well.
Space is limited, so go ahead and grab your ticket now!
